{"id":899,"count":14,"description":"<p>The DC-DC converters from <strong>12 V to 24 V<\/strong> They step up the voltage of a 12 V system to power 24 V equipment. A typical example is a van or boat with a 12 V alternator and 24 V equipment on board: a windlass, a compressor-driven fridge or an inverter.<\/p>\n<h2>Can I charge a 24 V battery from a 12 V alternator?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, but with a <strong>booster<\/strong>, not with a simple converter. The converter maintains a fixed output voltage; the booster applies the step-by-step charging curve that the battery requires. Charging a battery with a fixed voltage either overcharges it or leaves it perpetually half-charged.<\/p>\n<p>Bear in mind the power consumption on the 12 V side: increasing the voltage multiplies the input current, and the alternator must be able to supply it.
